Meigs Field Today

That's the question. Why aren't the boats in the dock now?

Perhaps they are all out at sea. It's Summer, after all!

It is to weep.

It is so hard to view that picture. Meigs was *SO* cool, and such a
great place to land, I just want to cry when I see what King Daley
hath wrought.

Mary and I haven't been back to Chicago since his terrorist attack on
Meigs, and we never will return, so long as he's in office. I figure
if Chicago is populated by people so stupid that they "re-elect"
someone like Daley, they certainly don't deserve any of our money.

It's a small protest, sure, but I figure it's over $10K by now, given
the conferences and weekend getaways we've skipped. Multiply that
times 400K pilots...

It looks like they've put a concert hall and added a beach area. The boats
still seem to be there and they've converted the FBO to something as well
(maybe an office for the boat mooring?) See

and click on the "Bird's Eye View."

If you scrool out high, the airfield appears.

It may be a small protest, but I'm doing it too. Now it's getting
big !!!

There's always Flight Sim 2000 :-/

There are a few boats there in the photo that Live.com has but you do
realize that that isn't a live image don't you. The original picture that
the tinyurl points to shows no boats at all.

Just curious, what part of my post made you think that I thought it was a
live picture???

Yes, because these images were taken at different times and sometimes the
gap is significant. Even when looking at the "Bird's Eye View," the
different angles may have significant time gaps. I my experience with the
site, the bird's eye views are much more up to date than the aerial
(satellite) views.

The original photo was assumed to be a "new" photo. To use live.com to
counter it one would assume that you thought it was newer than the original
photo. But it was actually more of a joke than an accusation.

What happened to all the boats? Isn't that prime moorage? I wonder
if King Daley decided the boats were a terrorist threat too and booted
them out...

The photo is likely from winter/ early spring, all the harbors are
full and more are on the way. Nyeah Nyeah...JG
